2016 Nissan NV3500 - Ratings, Complaints and Recalls

"the ac air flow in the back of the van is completely insufficient. the air coming out of the vents is cool, however the flow of air is so light/slow, the passengers in the back cannot feel it. since the back windows do not open it becomes swelteringly hot. we worry about our children passing out/over heating back there. it's a safety concern for us, and many others. it does not improve even once the vehicle has been running for a while, and it does not improve even when the vehicle is moving."

"check engine light came on, diagnosed as catalytic converter failure. local dealership advised to replace both converters at $2500. nissan would not cover under warranty as it claims converters are covered under exhaust/emissions warranty at 50k miles. the vehicle is just under 100k miles."

"rear a/c has zero flow therefore the back gets exceptionally hot"

"the rear air conditioning evaporator fan design has no air filter so the evaporator vanes become clogged with dust and debride within a short time causing failure of the system and thousand of dollars in repair bills. on the internet there are hundreds of disatisfied owners but no unified voice to nissan to do a recall on this engineering flaw to repair this obvious defect. we purchased the vehicle in march and had no use of the airconditioner then but when it heated up in denver we realized the rear air conditioner fans were not blowing hard enough to even be felt. on further reading i discovered this is a common problem for this vehicle."

"after purchasing the 2016 nissan nv 3500 sl we noticed air flow restrictions in the back three rows, our first week of ownership. . the first row air can get them by due to air in the front but with high temps in texas it's not enough. our children have to have portable fans if we go anywhere during the day. it gets up to 100degrees in the back even after letting the van "cool" for thirty minutes. we have reached the point we only use our van early mornings and late evenings to avoid health concerns with the heat in the back three rows. this is hazardous! nissan should definitely be looking into this. heat stroke could happen with a child. i have asked my dealership numerous times and they wont even get it in the shop unless i pay a diagnostic fee. i've been asking since we picked up our plates. this is absolutely absurd that even upon the first month of purchasing they were already hitting us with unfortunately its a design flaw if it needs to be looked at there will be a diagnostic fee. if only nissan would have shared this before purchasing we never would have bought our nv. horrible customer service, horrible design. horrible experience. something needs to be done. we are at the point the back two rows hardly have any pressure at all & with high temps right now can't even use our family vehicle. this is outrageous for the price we are paying. i recently joined a facebook page of nissan nv owners from across the nation/world and this seems to be a issue for alot of people not just us. nissan address this issue! the air restriction to the three rear rows is constant and has no regards to motion, idling, turning, city or highway. the longer you have the van the air pressure becomes less and less. at every service i questioned this and the advisors always brushed it off as a design flaw & said its functioning correctly just by feeling the air with their hand. no."
